And I was like, I want that.

And that idea of like really remote, beautiful places.

And so, yes.

And I've always had this thing of like animals magnetize.

I'll be with people doing something random.

I was in Brooklyn one time at a barbecue in the backyard and a parakeet came and landed on my shoulder.

And everyone was like, what is happening?

How did this possibly happen?

And we had to reverse engineer it.

It's weird.

The times that I've been in the Amazon, it's like, you don't just find a 20-foot anaconda.

One does not simply...

and then it happens you know elephants that should have killed me stopping and communicating with me and it's like i've just i just have had this this the time i pulled a spider monkey out of the river and was able to speak spider monkey to her like these things sound ridiculous and so thank god there's video of all of it but you know somehow i went down to the amazon fell in love with animals and then realized they can't advocate for themselves

There's this human world and 60% of humans live in cities and you have loggers and industry going out there in the Pacific Northwest and the Amazon and Borneo for palm oil, for timber, for all this stuff.

And there's worlds being destroyed that are filled with reptiles and amphibians and birds and mammals and flowers and it's like Avatar.

And I don't think people realize what we're losing.

And so to me, these are the places that are church.

These are the most beautiful things that I can imagine that I'm obsessed with studying and enjoying and drinking the streams.

And then I have seen too much of times where the place I love gets incinerated and all the animals and all the butterflies are dead and all the trees are laying on the ground and it's just ashes.

A 30 million year old ecosystem destroyed.
